The Amen Corner

By James Baldwin

Directed by Bryan Mitchell 

Presented with Essential Theatrical Associates

A scalding, uplifting, sorrowful, and exultant masterpiece of the modern American theater, The Amen Corner is a play about faith and family, about the gulf between black men and black women, and black fathers and black sons.

For years Sister Margaret Alexander has moved her Harlem congregation with a mixture of personal charisma and ferocious piety. But when Margaret\’s estranged husband, a scapegrace jazz musician, comes home to die, she is in danger of losing both her standing in the church and the son she has tried to keep on the godly path.

Evening performances at 8 pm, Matinees at 2 pm. Lobby doors open one hour prior to performance.
